DECISION
As described above this is a tree removal application to enable a large landscape redesign at 461 Allison.
The property is zoned R-2 and is surrounded entirely by other R-2 properties, it also falls within the
Siskiyou-Hargadine Historic District. Despite the multi -family zoning the neighborhood is comprised
almost exclusively of single family homes. The property is developed with a single family home and
measures 0.26 acres in size. Due to the size of the lot, and that it could support additional development a
tree removal permit is required for any tree over six -inches.
The request includes the removal of 4- Cherry measuring 8.5", 8", 6.5", and one with two leaders 8.5"
and 10" DBH, 4-Willows measuring 13.5", 24", 21.5" and 18", 1-19" DBH Leyland cypress, 1-7" DBH
Oak, 1-6.5" DBH Golden chain, The project arborist describes many of the trees as having bad form based
on previous pruning and topping, and states that the removal of these trees will not have a significant
impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, and protection of adjacent trees. The loss of the
willows will have a negative impact on species diversity, but when considering the hazardous nature of
the trees, their poor form and conflict with the fence the project arborist recommends their removal.
TREE-2020-00098
461 Allison St. faa
Page 1
The applicant is working with Landscape Architect Piper Von Chamier of Terrain Landscape Architecture
who submitted a Landscape plan showing the proposed development. The landscape plan includes a large
dinning terrace and more than seventeen new tree plantings.
At the Tree Commission's March 5th meeting the application was reviewed and the Tree Commission
voted unanimously to recommend approval for the tree removal. The tree commission found that the
proposed landscaping plan provided sufficient species diversity and plantings to mitigate for the trees to
be removed.
In staffs assessment, the tree removal as proposed fully meets the "tree that is not a hazard" criteria.
The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.O4O.B as follows:
2. Tree That is Not a Hazard. A Tree Removal Permit for a tree that is not a hazard shall be'granted if the approval authority finds that
the application meets all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of conditions.
a. The tree is proposed for removal in order to permit the application to be consistent with other applicable land Use Ordinance
requirements and standards, including but not limited to applicable Site Development and Design Standards in part 18.4 and
Physical and Environmental Constraints in part 18.10.
b. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of
adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks.
c. Removal of the tree will not have a significant negative impact on the tree densities, sizes, canopies, and species diversity within
200 feet of the subject property. The City shall grant an exception to this criterion when alternatives to the tree removal have
been considered and no reasonable alternative exists to allow the property to be used as permitted in the zone.
d. Nothing in this section shall require that the residential density to be reduced below the permitted density allowed by the zone. In
making this determination, the City may consider alternative site plans or placement of structures of alternate landscaping
designs that would lessen the impact on trees, so long as the alternatives continue to comply with the other provisions of this
ordinance.
e. The City shall require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each tree granted approval pursuant to section 18.5.7.050.
Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit.
Planning Action #TREE-2020-00098, a request to remove 11 regulated trees listed previously, complies
with all applicable City ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore,
Planning Action #TREE-2020-00098 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are
found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TREE-2020-00098 is denied. The
following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval:
1. That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise specifically
modified herein.
I the proposed landscaping plan be completed within: one (1) year of issuance of this decision
that in the alternative at least 11 mitigation trees be planted.

Hazard.
The removal of these trees will not have a significant impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface
waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks. Removal of most of these trees will not have
a significant negative impact oil tree densities or diversity within 200 feet, except for the removal ofthe
willows in the northeast corner, But given the potentially hazardous nature of the trees, their poor form,
their history of failure, and conflict with the fence, it is my recommendation that the area would be better
served by their removal and replacement with more suitable species.
Feel free to reach out if there are any further question.
Sincerely,
